Running Commentary

Well Anniversary number 11 ended in a teary fight on the couch about started projects that NEVER EVER GET FINISHED.
Somehow, the one of us that has a renovations/restorations company cannot seem to renovate or restore his own home.
SURE he can start 1000 things but he can’t seem to finish any of them. I mean I have a front closet with NO door, cause he hates slidey closet doors. Ok it was 3 yrs with NO door at all and now it’s been 2 wks with a partial frame and a door leaning against the opposite wall. Our living room is 3 different colours right now because he hasn’t “had the chance” to finish the painting.
The ceiling still has plastic stapled to parts of it, cause he wants to redo the california texture so why bother taking ALL the plastic down..the little shards of it are fine.
GRRRRR! I’m a little miffed is all. Every now and then I have to freak out on him and he starts working on the house a bit more.

In other news…I might be moving (my blog) sooner than I thought! More on that as later.

I’m getting a massage on MOnday and I hope that means on the 14th I won’t be so sore!
We shall see.

Well then

More crying October 28 2004

I can’t run tonight.
I was in denial all day.
I made plans to run.
People are meeting at my house at 6pm so we can run together.
My wardrobe malfunction has caused a wound that is totally grounding me.
After shopping today I came home to find my jeans STUCK to my owie.
STUCK TO IT.
I re-applied butt’r. ZOINKS that’s some painful shit right there.
And after screaming like a girl I applied some zinc diaper cream right after.
Again?
More pain than child birth.

So then I put on my running tights, thinking that they would be great cause they don’t move around too much.
Well chubby old me bought the baggy tights last year cause I didn’t want to be seen in TIGHT tights.
They fit like tights on me last year but not obscenely tight like some people (boys you know what I’m talking about). This year? THEY’RE BAGGY and move around over my owie.

So I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I cannot run tonight. CAN NOT. In no way can I. I considered duct taping it. But what goes on must come off and I don’t see that as a pleasant experience.

Tonight’s run was only 5 BUT saturdays run is 21. So I want to be sure I am all healed by then and if not I have to figure out how to protect it while I run. Let me tell you this is not a job for butt’r or body glide. This is possible a panty liner taped to my leg kind of job.

Unless of course someone has a better suggestion?

Nothing to Blog

Bah…and such is my life.

Today is our 11th anniversary. Not exactly WEDDING anniversary since there never was a wedding. But more of a moving in together anniversary. When we had been together a couple of years we didn’t know what date to consider our anniversary. The first date? The first “sleep over”? We decided on moving in cause that was pretty much the point when we figured out we would be spending a significant amount of our lives together (don’t want to say forever cause you NEVER know!)

Anyway 11 years later and he’s still a dick!! I’m kidding. 2 kids, a vehicle and house later we are as married as anyone else.

Now I’m feeling a little jipped (is that how you spell it) that we didn’t have a wedding (totally my idea to NOT get married) so NO PRESENTS! That sucks.

A couple of years ago I found out that the company I worked for then gave you a week off paid when you got married. So I tried to convince Chris that is was the time for us to get married.

He said NO! He said, “I asked you to marry me 9 years ago (at the time) and you said no, now you want to marry me for a week off?”
“well…yeah” I said.

So once again no wedding.

We’ve always said the only way we would ever get married is in a cheesy Vegas drive thru wedding. And since I am a closet CSI addict I KNOW the horrors of Vegas and we won’t be visiting anytime soon.

hee.

Hmm Who’d A Thunk It? October 27 2004

Soooo so so so so many people told me that training for my first half marathon was going to change running for me. I thought…OK, gotcha…whatever you say.

And I can’t honestly say I believed them then…or now for that matter.

But something has definitely changed in running for me. Tonight again, I ran like I was as light as air. It was effortless, well that’s not accurate either. There was effort but it was more easily found effort. Do you know what I mean?

I had the effort to give or something I don’t know.

But I do know that this next half marathon is MUCH hillier than the first one I did. But these are hills I run every day, every week. And on a route I’ve run…100 billion times. I am interested in my time this time. We shall see what happens.

But I do know I am enjoying running so much more right now. COuld be the weather. COuld the weight. COuld be my body being used to more mileage. But I’m loving it. And I’m not going to question it and realize next week that I’m back to trudging through the hilliest town in Ontario with out a spring in my step. For now I’ll just take what I can get.

Stupid blogger seems to be fixed.
BAH!
Thinking about a domain name registration and moving this blog.

Any name suggestions??

Pamalamadingdong.ca?
runningcommentary.ca?

We shall see.

OH! In other sad sad news, I’ve worn out my most favouritist running pants. They’re these lovely blue capris by Brooks and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. And now they have a hole from my big fat sausage thighs rubbing together in a not at all sexy way! And with race registrations and the new $100 winter running top I want I CAN’T AFFORD A NEW PAIR!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phooey!
Poverty sucks.
